It's a new year, and it's time to start our first look back of 2018. After spending a couple of days working through our year-in-review for 2017, it feels really odd to just be recapping the month of January. But here we go, the first month of 2018 is done, and it's time to do a look back. 

Last year was an incredibly successful year for my own personal goals. Although I didn't accomplish them all, I'm insanely proud that I was able to keep focused on them through the year. We're now two weeks into 2018, so I'm a little late in posting my goals for the year. Luckily they've been in my moleskin notebook since mid-December, so I've been prepared. Here are the big goals for 2018!

Jenn and I have been married for a little over eight years and together over fifteen. In all of those years together I'm not sure though we've ever had a year quite as great as 2017. From start to finish it was one of those years that I know when we're old and gray we will be talking about our amazing adventures, Jenn's big career move and being back in Newport Beach. 

We're nearing the end of another year and that means its time for our favorite things post. This is now our seventh year in a row doing this post and I absolutely adore going back and reading old posts. 2017 has been an absolutely crazy/enjoyable/memorable year and putting together this post just reiterates to me how fortunate we both are. We've been blessed with so much and I hope to never lose sight of that. Alright let's do it, let's go through Jenn and my favorite things from 2017. 

I've got a string of year-end articles that I like to write up. This one began with my first Apple Watch in 2015. For the past couple of years, I've become somewhat addicted to tracking my daily performance in a slew of different categories. I just find it to be a fun, easy thing to do, to try to be my best self. Whether it's getting enough sleep, taking more than 10,000 steps a day, or reading as much as I can, it's all fun ways to track my day to day. 

Last month was a slightly odd month in that I didn't do this formal recap. Instead, we had almost daily posts about our Grand Adventure and an amazing visual recap of the trip through six slideshows that Jenn expertly put together. This month we were back home (sort of) and we've got a full month of festivities to look back on.
